Rainbow Village Partners with the Gwinnett Thrift Store

Posted on December 19, 2011 by eallen

The Gwinnett Thrift Store benefiting Rainbow Village is officially open and now serves as the official drop-off site for all in-kind donations to Rainbow Village. Owner Tim Hur allows us to use his storage space to keep our needed household items safe and sound until future residents need them and those that we don’t have a specific purpose for can be sold via consignment in his store and generate a 40% sales return for Rainbow Village. Nancy Yancey shares, “Tim has done an amazing job helping us get this set up and it’s proving to be a win-win model for all involved.” The store, located inside Galleria Mall at 5265 Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Norcross, is open for sales and donations Thursdays – Mondays 11 am to 9 pm. Tim reports, “We started with a soft launch and are pleased to report we’ve already generated several hundred dollars to benefit Rainbow Village families. If the donations and sales continue to trend as they have, we might find ourselves open daily much sooner than expected.”
